We only see Datura flowers here in Quartzsite, AZ if there has been quite a bit of rain. Maybe Tucson received more rain this year than we did.
We see Datura inoxia flowers in September October, the Autumn season across India.
The Native Americans often used the Sacred Datura in their rituals... very carefully. Is it really blooming there now?
Ariana seeds are toxic...!!
Beautiful, I had no idea about it's chemical properties! Thanks for sharing.
